Might be watering them inadequately, missed the peak growing season, which is summer (most likely, though some are still growing) impatient or all of the above but I feel like that's the size they grow, apparently I've read somewhere that they're of the "ornamental" variety which means they're that size when they've matured, but the picture shows a bigger size. They're Thai Dragon Chilies. Unless I wait until next year to see if they grow bigger or to move them to a bigger pot.

Not sure if this one is the same variety but this looks like bird eye's chilli, which is usually around that size. Small, but pack a punch.

Edit: searched around and the picture below is only a bit bigger?

I think yours is fine.

Yeah that's what I was thinking too, because we have the same similar variety back in my home country, we call them "labuyo" small but packs quite a punch like you said. Thank you for your reassurance!
